Yekooche transfer payments

The Yekooche First Nation, which has been struggling with leadership issues for over a year, is again receiving their federal transfer payments.

While a recall vote and by-election for the position of chief had halted payments from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), it appears funds have once again begun to flow to Yekooche.

The band is still pursuing civil action against Henry Joseph, who had been elected chief but was removed in a recall along with then-councillor Mathew Ernie Joseph.
